Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond

Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond

You were caught in the cross fire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond

Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond

Well you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Welcome To The Machine

Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
Where have you been
It's alright, we know where you've been

You've been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'
You bought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine

Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
What did you dream
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the steak bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine

Have A Cigar

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar
You're gonna go far, fly high
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try
They're gonna love you
Well I've always had a deep respect
And I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic
that is really what I think
Oh by the way, which one's Pink

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
We call it Riding the Gravy Train

We're just knocked out
We heard about the sell out
You gotta get an album out
You owe it to the people
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green
Have you seen the chart
It's a helluva start
It could be made into a monster
if we all pull together as a team

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
We call it Riding the Gravy Train

Wish You Were Here

"... and disciplinary remains mercifully"
"Yes, now would you take this star nonsense ?"
"No, no"
"Now which is it..."
"I'm sure of it..."

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell

And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Shine On You Crazy Diamond part 6-9

Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond

Pile on many more layers
And I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond

And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine
